Grace groaned as her alarm went off. She shut it off and rolled over and frowned as she realised how Derek was already gone "just me and you bump" she said as she placed a hand on the small bump that was starting to form and smiled

Derek's at the hospital, taking a scan of the first patient of his Alzheimer's trial.

"John Driscoll, white male, 62, Alzheimer's diagnosed eight months ago. Patient number one of Alzheimer's N.G.F. clinical trial." Derek said

"Okay, you're gonna hear a ... a little drilling sound. How you doing, John? " Derek said

"Okay. "

"Great. You're doing great. All right, envelope, please." Derek said as Alex hands Derek the envelope. Grace is standing watching from the gallery

Grace met up with Bella and smiled as she looked to her best friend "hey are you okay?" Grace asked as Bella looked to her and smiled

"I'm fine I am just having cramps that's all"

"Your not going into labour are you" Grace asked as Bella looked to her and rolled her eyes

"I'm 29 weeks that's all. Don't worry how is my niece or nephew doing"

"They started kicking last night I haven't told Derek as I went to sleep he wasn't there. I woke up he was gone. He was there when I got up to pee which is the only want I know he was there. I know how he is starting on his trail and it's important to him"

"More important than your baby?" Bella asked as grace shrugged

"I just want to be a good mum and it scared me. Feeling this one kick. It made t feel real I mean I know I am pregnant, I heard the heartbeat I can feel them grow but feeling them"

"It's a weird feeling. I know that your worried you'll be like your mom but I know that you will be a great mom" Bella said as grace looked to her and smiled

Grace finds Derek.

"You didn't say good-bye this morning. " Grace said

"I had a surgery. Mm. I didn't want to wake you. "

" No, you were starting your clinical trial, and you feel guilty that I'm not on it, so you snuck out. It's a shame I was going to tell you over the baby kicking" she said

"You're right, but I don't feel guilty, and I didn't sneak out. Are they kicking now?" Derek asked with a big grin

"No they're mad at you like I am" she said as Alex comes over.

"Uh, patient number two, Daniel Cobb, admitted and in a room. His wife has some questions for you. " Alex said

" I can't believe... " Grace said

"Mm." Derek said

" He picked you for this thing instead of me? " Grace said

"Well, Dr. Shepherd didn't want to leave anything to chance." Alex said

"Now you can both go to hell. " Grace said
